@tobi We can actually call this "engineering", i.e. find out how and do the task

I really like the term “context engineering” over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.

Bye Twitter 👋 see you there fromanengineersight.substack.com

@sspaeti @himbo_sl1ce I'd consider @MalloyDev too here

@sspaeti @himbo_sl1ce 💯, still wondering why "the market" (data & analytics engineer) isn't moving more into these 🤔 Too closed source (doesn't apply to all listed)? Too young (doesn't apply to all listed)?

Imagine creating business dashboards by simply describing what you want to see - no more clicking through complex interfaces or writing SQL queries. This is the promise of #GenBI, and I've just published an in-depth article exploring this newer domain. 👉🏻 rilldata.com/blog/bi-as-cod…

@mitsuhiko @kestra_io @charmcli @RillData @MalloyDev: nothing AI, everything pure interface

What's the technology that gets you most excited at the moment that is not AI?

@ThatGarateyjc @AnalysisEvolved Funny enough is that even almost 6 years later, this is project is still kind of live :) x.com/Ben8t/status/1…

@Ben8t @AnalysisEvolved No worries! Ah yes i thought it was him tbh!

In 2018 i first came across what we now call Pass Sonars & forgive me i cannot remember who first published them (@Ben8t or Eliot from @AnalysisEvolved i think?!) I loved the design of the latter so I decided to pay homage & recreate them for the Barca/Bayern game last night 👊🏼

@sperosck @MalloyDev @vega_vis Malloy’s team cooking serious stuff !! Can’t wait to fer my hands on this 😋

@MalloyDev I forgot to say, all of this viz was possible due to the amazing Vega project @vega_vis, the signal and event system as well as the extensibility with custom expressions is really special 🥂

With Malloy’s semantic model, we can visualize query results like dashboards, tables, and charts with built in interactions shared across common dimensions and measures. A preview of these new @MalloyDev features 🧵

The wait is over! You can now use Athena with @SQLMesh. Both Iceberg and Hive are supported but we heavily recommend Iceberg since it's a way better experience. And if you're still stuck on dbt, don't worry, we also have support for the dbt-athena adapter so you can have a seamless migration! Like always, if you run into any issues, feel free to file an issue or let us know on Slack. We're abnormally responsive :) sqlmesh.readthedocs.io/en/stable/inte…

Didn't check 100% that new uv thing, but is it the coming 2025 vibe 🤔 ?

Kestra raises another $8M for its open-source orchestration platform tcrn.ch/3B7wxiP

New passion.... #midjourney

@FrankBoerman @duckdb Yes me too… also Polars API is actually not 100% the same - so need to change code

@Ben8t @duckdb Still have to go with pandas but more because I'm used to it

Which one do you prefer ? @duckdb #python

@k4m3sh @WizLikeWizard Yes ! I sent you a DM :)

@Ben8t @WizLikeWizard I was able to get the prompt - would be open to making me one, if I share the prompt?

Forgot an important one 👨‍🚀

@ncclementi @mehd_io @duckdb @IbisData oh great call @ncclementi - here my goal is to have 1-1 mapping with small json (API event processing). My next step is more trying jsonata.org (which @kestra support natively)

@Ben8t @mehd_io @duckdb How about @IbisData with the @duckdb backend?

@mehd_io @duckdb tried polars and just having to install rust is painful... I guess, I should upgrade my Python deps and so on - just wanted things done 😅

@Ben8t @duckdb you could have least put polars above, the fight isn't even fair for the 🦆

@sspaeti get a look at @charmcli ;)

I love TUIs 🐧
